<a href="http://bigstory.ap.org/article/pentagon-oks-manning-transfer-gender-treatment">In a story first broken by the AP</a> (heads up: link does not conform to <a href="http://www.glaad.org/reference/transgender">guidelines</a> about how to refer to trans people), Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel has given approval for the Army to transfer Pvt. Chelsea Manning to a federal prison in order to allow her to access treatment for her gender dysphoria. "No decision to transfer Pvt. Manning to a civilian detention facility has been made, and any such decision will, of course, properly balance the soldier's medical needs with our obligation to ensure she remains behind bars," said Pentagon press secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby. (At least they're gendering her right in the media, if not in prison.)
This move would be required to resolve the conflict between Chelsea's need for treatment and the policy of not allowing trans people to serve in the military or receive trans-related care in military prisons. Since she won't be discharged until after serving her full 35 year term, her transfer to a federal facility would allow her to get help without forcing the military to lift its ban.
Because denying trans prisoners access to trans-related health care has been considered cruel and unusual punishment in <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/lgbt/2014/01/17/3182501/federal-appeals-court-cruel-unusual-punishment-deny-transgender-inmates-surgery/">recent</a> court <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/lgbt/2014/05/03/3433883/transgender-woman-hormone-treatment/">cases</a>, they have to do something. <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/lgbt/2014/05/14/3438019/chelsea-manning-hormone-therapy/">ThinkProgress has a rundown of the military's options</a>.
One possibility is to drop the ban on trans people serving, which was left in place even with the repeal of the Don't Ask Don't Tell policy for gay and bisexual service members. <a href="http://www.transadvocate.com/commission-report-says-theres-no-reason-to-continue-ban-on-transgender-service_n_12994.htm">Earlier this year, a commission </a>"co-chaired by former US Surgeon General Dr. Joycelyn Elders and former Coast Guard Director of Health and Safety Alan Steinman found that the ban on transgender service was not only unreasonable but empirically unsound." Earlier this week, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/12/us/hagel-open-to-review-of-military-policy-on-transgender-people.html">Chuck Hagel said</a> that he was "open" to reviewing the policy, and that "every qualified American who wants to serve our country should have an opportunity if they fit the qualifications and can do it.” Of course, he fell short of actually dropping the ban, which fits right in with the White House's <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/08/obama-enda-lgbt_n_5106992.html"> similar failings</a> to take executive action on LGBT issues despite rhetoric about moving forward without Congress.
Meanwhile, Chelsea's lawyer is <a href="http://www.advocate.com/politics/transgender/2014/05/14/chelsea-mannings-attorney-accuses-pentagon-strategic-leak">"highly skeptical of the legitimacy of the AP's report,"</a> and has accused the Pentagon of "strategically leaking" the story in an attempt to coerce Chelsea into dropping her appeal. Because the appeals process can take years and prisoners aren't typically transferred to federal prison until it's over, the government could be setting up a Sophie's choice for Chelsea between the right to appeal and timely medical care. tag:metafilter.com,2014:site.139123Thu, 15 May 2014 11:08:06 -0800CorinthLiberalism, Libertarianism, and the Illiberal Security Statehttp://www.metafilter.com/135855/Liberalism%2DLibertarianism%2Dand%2Dthe%2DIlliberal%2DSecurity%2DState
<em>The defense of the illiberal activities of the actually-existing state cuts across superficial partisan lines, and the dominant political philosophy of both American parties is a venerable ideology of realpolitik imperial supremacy that deploys the rhetoric of liberalism as pacifying propaganda and recasts the completely mundane application of basic liberal-democratic principles–the kind at work in the activities of Wikileaks and Snowden–as irresponsibly adolescent, anarchical, and even libertarian (eww!) challenges to the very idea of the liberal state. “Liberal” apologists for the actually-existing criminal state spook actual liberals from the practice of actual liberalism by insinuating darkly that any doubts about the liberal legitimacy of the security state probably makes you a loathsome, possibly racist Paultard.</em> <a href="http://www.willwilkinson.net/political%20philosophy/filthy%20non-theoretical%20politics/2014/01/20/liberalism-libertarianism-and-the-illiberal-security-state/">Wil Wilkinson on why liberal critics of the "liberal" state seem "libertarian."</a> Responds to an <a href="http://crookedtimber.org/2014/01/19/the-liberal-surveillance-state/">essay by Henry Farrell</a> responding to a <a href="http://www.newrepublic.com/article/116253/edward-snowden-glenn-greenwald-julian-assange-what-they-believe">TNR essay by Sean Wilentz</a>. tag:metafilter.com,2014:site.135855Tue, 21 Jan 2014 06:25:01 -0800grobsteinThe epic journey....http://www.metafilter.com/132407/The%2Depic%2Djourney

For about a day, <a href="http://blogs.sfweekly.com/thesnitch/2013/04/kamala_harris_grand_marshal.php">Wikileaks leaker Bradley Manning was going to be one of the Grand Marshals</a> in this year's San Francisco Pride Parade. Since Manning continues to languish in a military brig, <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12/04/bradley-manning-daniel-ellsberg-pentagon-papers_n_2240016.html">his* frequent champion</a>, the Pentagon Papers leaker Daniel Ellsberg, agreed to attend in his stead. Manning was selected by Pride's "electoral college," a jury of former Grand Marshals that elects some of the Grand Marshals for each year's parade. But almost as soon as his selection was announced, it was revoked by the Pride board. Here is the statement from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SanFranciscoPride/posts/622822351079480">board President Lisa Williams</a>.
The SF Pride board is meeting right now, and Manning's advocates will be gathering outside and possibly inside the meeting. <a href="https://twitter.com/lizatblackrose">@lizatblackrose</a> is livetweeting the meeting. In her statement, Williams characterized Manning's selection as undemocratic, and an accident:
<blockquote>
A staff person at SF Pride, acting under his own initiative, prematurely contacted Bradley Manning based on internal conversations within the SF Pride organization. That was an error and that person has been disciplined. He does not now, nor did he at that time, speak for SF Pride.</blockquote>
But according to <a href="http://dissenter.firedoglake.com/2013/04/29/former-san-francisco-pride-grand-marshal-who-nominated-bradley-manning-discusses-boards-capitulation/">interviews with one former Grand Marshal</a>, that is not quite accurate:
<blockquote>
the Board had been willing to honor him. It was not until LGBT military groups from outside of San Francisco began to bombard San Francisco Pride’s office with phone calls and emails that the Board decided Pride would not honor Manning.
“I nominated Bradley Manning to be a Grand Marshal,” Joey Cain told Firedoglake. Three others in addition to Manning were nominated. An email went out to former Grand Marshals and “we voted.”</blockquote>
The board was not just fixing a procedural screwup, then: they were trying to walk back a decision that was bringing them under political fire.
The backlash at Manning's election appears to have been driven in part by gay military activist groups, with some arguing that Manning "<a href="https://www.change.org/petitions/lgbt-military-tell-san-francisco-pride-to-not-make-bradley-manning-their-grand-marshal">does not represent the gay military community</a>." <a href="http://www.salon.com/2013/04/29/a_salon_two_gay_gis_debate_bradley_manning/">Salon hosted an exchange between gay military activists Sean Sala (anti-Manning) and Dan Choi (pro-Manning)</a>. In the debate, Sala returns several times to the argument that what Manning did (regardless of its merits) has nothing to do with being gay or gay rights.
Now that gay rights orgs are increasingly part of the mainstream, they are subject to the same kinds of pressures and incentives that all mainstream groups face. Do all those big corporate sponsorships mean radicalism is no longer welcome: <a href="http://gawker.com/sad-that-this-isnt-true-bradley-manning-pride-parade-486193284">Stephen W.

In 1984, Congress passed a law called the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Fraud_and_Abuse_Act">Computer Fraud and Abuse Act</a>, in the wake of some <a href="http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9130828/Hackers_steal_legislators_attention">high profile incidents of hacking</a>.
